Mirroring SqueakSource repositories?

Hi Guys,

Does anybody know if it's possible to basically mirror SqueakSource
repositories? What I'm looking for is something where I can have a
downstream repository that (for simple purposes of added reliability)
mirrors an upstream repository. While this can be done manually, it's
kinda tedious to do this for a number of repositories so I'm interested
in an automated way of doing this.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
   - Andreas

It'd be handy if a Monticello repository could subscribe to another
repository, and that repository could use MCVersionNotification to notify
the downstream repository. Right now it looks like MCVersionNotification
only notifies via mail, but I don't think it'd be too hard (he says not
knowing MC's source at all) to allow one to put arbitrary URLs in the
'notify' file, and MCVersionNotification would do the right thing when it
read 'mailto:foo@bar' or 'sip:foo@bar' or 'http://rss.foo.bar/', or
'mc://foo.bar'.

I know an extension (by noury and co) that allows one to publish on  
multiple repositories.
It does not solve your problem.

It's Monticello-MultiRep made by Michaël Piel.
see http://www.squeaksource.com/MonticelloMultiRep.html.
It's add a "Save All" button to MonticelloBrowser. A single click
allows saving your package on
multiple repositories possibly on multiple servers.

We're currently using it at Douai, since we use a private SqueakSource
server together with squeaksource.com

Well, not necessarily. If that works, it's certainly a good start. One
question about this: If you do this, show these mirrored packages up in
the SqueakSource web UI or not? (I'd like them to show properly)

Cheers,

Nope. All the meta-information, like what versions are available, who  
uploaded them, etc. are in the image.

However, you can just use a regular webserver to serve these files -  
just make sure it shows indexes. For a backup that's probably  
sufficient.
